Sharing o’ the Green in 2007
Sunday Services
This past year in 2007, Sunday service collections netted $7,111, up from $5,839 in 2006. The funds were donated to the Saint Brigid Social Action Committee for appropriation of funds to community causes. The projects supported include the Dublin Food Pantry, Material Assistance Providers, soup kitchens and more.
Daughters of Erin Tea Room
Tea and scones were popular menu items throughout the weekend, helping raise $2,500 for the Daughters of Erin. These funds support their scholarship program.
Mini-golf for Miracle League
Volunteers for the Miracle League of Central Ohio staffed the mini-golf area at the Festival, raising more than $1,400. These funds make it possible for physically challenged children to participate in baseball.
